(1923) - An Appeal to the Conscience of the Black Race to See Itself - Marcus Garvey

InAn Appeal to the Conscience of the Black Race to See Itself, Marcus Garvey grapples with the problem of racial division and internal disunity within the Black community, which hinders collective progress and liberation. He confronted the challenge of uniting the Black race. He contended that the race must build its own industries, governments, and culture in order to gain respect and equality in the world. Garvey criticized the tendency to imitate white society and called for the creation of an independent Black identity. He emphasized that the Universal black people Improvement Association's mission was to inspire racial pride, self-help, and progress, while rejecting dependence on others or patronage.
